Ibrahim Kanaté will join Anderlecht. He has his medical examination this Monday.
Beyond the immediate priorities of the Anderlecht transfer window, Olivier Renard also wants to take advantage of his first transfer window to make some long-term moves. The arrival of Ibrahim Kanaté should be placed in this category.
According to Het Nieuwsblad, Sporting will soon formalize the transfer of the 18-year-old left winger, who is also undergoing his medical examination this Monday.
We had to pay the price
Ibrahim Kanaté stood out during the U17 World Cup a year ago. Mali reached the semi-finals there. Kanaté was one of the great architects of this great run with 2 goals and 3 assists in six matches.
This then attracted recruiters: besides Anderlechtwe can also cite the interest of Chelsea and Club Brugge. The Blauw en Zwart were, however, not willing to put up the requested sum of 1.80 million.
A high price which has not made the people of Brussels back down. Kanaté will therefore join Sporting, starting by acclimatizing to European football with the RSCA Futures.
